Devlog #9 – Galewyn, the Frost Queen
[p]Hey Survivors!
[/p][p]Today’s devlog tells the story of Galewyn the First, the Queen of the Frost Kingdom, one of the most tragic and powerful figures in Tri Survive. Once the daughter of fire, she now rules a kingdom of frost, standing as both protector and recluse. Cool, collected, and touched by sorrow, Galewyn fights as a Tank hero, wielding her massive Royal Hammer to control the battlefield.

Born of Fire[/h3][p]Galewyn Ardent was born into nobility in the Human Kingdom, daughter of Ignis and Ila Ardent, both Keepers of the Eternal Flame. Her father trained for the trials to become Royal Archmage, and Galewyn grew up learning magic at his side. To her, Ignis was more than a teacher. He was her role model. She dreamed of following in his footsteps, and he believed she might even surpass him one day.[/p][p]Her mother Ila, however, was secretly suffering from a terminal illness. She hid it until Ignis completed his trials and earned the title of Archmage. Only then did her strength give out, and she passed away. The loss shattered both father and daughter. Ignis turned deeper into his studies, while Galewyn felt the warmth of her childhood vanish.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][h3]The Cold Flame[/h3][p]In his grief, Ignis sought answers in endless study, pushing fire magic toward cosmic heights. Galewyn’s powers, however, began to shift. Her fire dimmed and turned cold, its flames a strange, unnatural blue.[/p][p]To Ignis, this was unacceptable. “There is no use for a cold flame,Not only that, but it is simply wrong.” he told her. “If we cannot fix this, you will never become Archmage. It is our duty to your late mother to achieve this!” His obsession left no room for compassion.[/p][p]Galewyn tried for years to reignite her flames, but nothing worked. The pressure between them grew unbearable until one day it erupted into an argument. “You are obsessed! It’s nothing but the Eternal Flame, all day, all night!” she cried. “It consumed our family! One day, it will consume all!” she couldn’t take it anymore.[/p][p]Her grief exploded into power. With a shriek, she struck the ground, and blue fire burst into towering spires of ice. The chamber froze over, snow drifting from the ceiling. Father and daughter stared in shock before Galewyn turned away. She left the Human Kingdom behind and was never seen there again. From then on, whispers spread of a mighty Frost Queen ruling a realm of eternal snow.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][h3]In-Game Role: Tank[/h3][p]Galewyn enters Tri Survive as a Tank, wielding her massive Royal Hammer to sweep enemies in front of her. Built to endure punishment, she excels at controlling swarms and inflicting enemies damage.[/p][p]Her active ability, Frozen Spires, evolves as follows:[/p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][h3]A Queen of Solitude[/h3][p]Though she rules with frosty strength, Galewyn carries deep sadness. She spends her days with frost-forged constructs and creatures of her own making, distant from human touch. Yet her cool, unshaken resolve to protect the world from the consuming fire remains. Where once she was bound by the Eternal Flame, she now walks a path of frost, alone but unbroken.
